Exactly. I use to just scratch enough for the barcode but it's all a scam. I stopped playing. Every 3rd ticket is supposed to be at minimum a $2 winner but I would buy 12 tickets at a time and a lot were all duds (sorry lottery PTSD, way off topic) 🫤
Those bar code machines don’t always work. One told me I had a $15 winner. And it was wrong. Even the machine behind the counter makes mistakes. Well at least I thought it did. I had a $10 winner & the guy said it wasn’t a winner. I said it was. Maybe he wanted the $10 for himself.
If you do this and it destroys your ticket, you will have to send it off to verify your winnings, which will take about 8 months or more . Don't do this!
The tickets are verified regardless, but I do believe of it appears tampered with or unusual in any way it will delay the pay out because they will investigate to make sure it's legit.
Exactly what I was thinking. WHY would I ruin my already minute chance of winning by putting sanitizer on the ticket!? It'd be my luck (or lack thereof) that the ticket I use sanitizer on would be a winner but they wouldn't accept it due to the alcohol. 🤔🙄
And in seconds you made the barcode completely unscanable and In some states, that means even if you just hit the jackpot if they can’t scan the barcode you basically just threw all of that in the trash.
Nah there’s always a backup to get their winnings. Usually two different number codes and the last 4 of the serial number for the ticket itself which could be found even if it was ripped. I feel you though, this was an extra hassle lol.
But a scratch off is called a scratch off for a reason only a true Gambler will know the satisfaction and excitement of scratching the card ... So this is just so silly to even think about using hand sanitizer! I would rather scratch with a lucky coin or key! 😂 Js
I typically yell at my kids for having food or drinks near my laptop, this guy uses it as a scratch off station lol. But I guess with no scratch shavings, all he has to worry about is the latex smears (or whatever scratchers use as a coating). At least the thing is gonna be germ free, and also you have a super clean ticket too!
Lol dumbro did it on his Apple.... Want a true pro's hack? Saw a Vet do this and tried it, totally works. Mind you the point to the thing is the fun of, "Scratching" the wax away... Usually it's at the bottom, but find the barcode at the bottom, scratch it away, then scan it on either an ID needed machine or the No ID required, some gas station or liquor store will have it on a pedestal near the paper lotto tickets. When scanned it will tell you if you're a winner or not. Much faster and less messy than this. Yw
Messy. For those of us who play to win, scratch one box and scan. Quickest way to learn whether you have won or not. The fun part is knowing you have won sooner than later.
When scratch cards first come out they never scanned under £15 I think it was. My mate used to buy the stencil numbers and scratch them onto the card to make them look like winners. Worked ever time. But then they updated tills and machines so yeah.
If you really want to take even more fun and time out of it all you gotta do is buy it then give it back to the cashier to scan. The barcode on the back already shows if it’s a winner or not
On the rare chance I feel like buying a few tickets. And that's an empathize rare. I don't scratch off the prizes unless I win. Because they are designed to make you feel like "you almost had 10000 dollars" to get stupid people to buy more. It's a voluntary poor tax and people love to play it. I get them because it reminds me of my mother who got them every week. I might go to a bingo hall sometime to honor her that way too.
Just scratch the barcode and scan it like I do. Went to get my payoff and the girl said , " This ticket was already paid off ". ..... " That's impossible." I said. " You could've just picked it up from off the ground over there ", she said. I gave her the side eye." If it's already cashed out then how do I have it? " , I said. " I don't know but I gotta go with what the machine says , she said. " So you're trying to tell me I stole a cashed out ticket?" ..... & People TURN those IN to get paid so how could I have found it on the floor over there?" I said. " Ok it worked", she said. ...... I was about to just take it elsewhere too. Unless she thought I was gonna just accept her story and let her cash it in.
I don’t buy them unless my intuition tells me to. I was down to my last $20 at Kroger. I passed the machine and knew I was going to win. I got 1 ticket and won $500. That’s happened a few times. I don’t know how I know I just “know”.
I can’t remember the last time u saw a lotto machine! They used to be in all the grocery stores and to think about it it’s got to be since I was a teen and I’m in my 40’s.
They are in every grocery store in Illinois and Missouri, along with several convenient store chains. Your state lottery laws my prevent this, especially if they are strict to prevent mimors from gambling.
Yeah when you're doing stuff like that you're addicted to it that would be absolutely no point in buying a lotto ticket if I'm going to scratch it like that
That takes the fun out of it
That is why he doesn't gamble 😆
That's not fun at all
Losing my money ain't fun
I agree more fun to scratch 🤣😂🤣 Sharon in SC
If you scratch enough of them you'll get tired of doing it just like anything else
Or, or, or, hear me out, or you just scan the bar code.

@@geauxblue712I got off the lottery cold turkey. My brother stuck me in a nursing home. Guess he wanted me in his control. I’m sill pissed
Missing the entire point of getting a scratch off! Yall new kids are weird.
When u gamble so much u know the fastest way to do it 💀
Some of my friends only scratch off the parts the need to see 😂
Scan it XD
Scratch the barcode and scan it that's the quickest no need to do anything else just one quick swipe and scan
😂😂
@@strhaivenswrthank you lmfao I’ve done this since I started no need to waste time
That takes all the fun out of a scratch off

Kinda like filling for our tax refund
Not really.. the barcode is all that matters
The tickets are verified regardless, but I do believe of it appears tampered with or unusual in any way it will delay the pay out because they will investigate to make sure it's legit.
there's a bar code on them and most places have a scanner that tells you if the card was originally a winner or not 🤦🏽
Wins $2 million but can’t cash it because it was tampered with, using alcohol
No way😱

Forget that idea, altho I wouldn't do it anyway just b/caz I think it's more fun I scratch it off
You are right
so are we just ignoring the fact that he poured hand sanitizer all over his Mac?
I was thinking the same thing!! I remember i used to wish to have one lol
Came here looking for such a comment! My inner IT guy just cringed when he was so sloppy about that!
Same 🤦♂️, all that alcohol making a nasty mess on that 1K+ laptop
The whole rush is from scratching it 1 by 1 tho and finding the 500x Symbol
Isn't it rubbing off the barcode also
Exactly!
Right
You have a gambling problem
The words scratch off tickets is now archived. It is now called a wipe off tickets. 😁
Because using a coin is just soooooo difficult 😒
Those scrambles are disgusting, smell bad and stick to everything. 🤮
@@shayannesmith3953Especially when mixed with hand sanitizer and messily swiped across the top of his MacBook!
I use one of my keys

For real i have over 50 $20 tickets in a pile that are non winners. I buy a $20 scratch off every check 😂
me too i get 2 every check
People used to just scratch it off with a coin.
And they still do
@@IAmJuniorJuniorIsLife sanitizer is the first
But it's not fun anymore. I like to take my time in scratching that's why I like the Bingo scratch off where I can drink my coffee while scratching...
Exactly they are the best! I love bingo and cross word lottery tickets!
@@CaptainFun7857yesss they are the most fun and time consuming, I scratch off other tickets way too fast 😂
It's fun ti scratch a ticket while wasting money???
@CaptainFun7857 u love being dumb?
Nobody’s gonna talk about how he did that on top of a MacBook
That defeats the fun
I just do the bar code and scan it
Same here
Well at least your ticket is sanitized
"this is why you dont gamble."
Uploads multiple claw-machine videos with $100 to play.
Easier to just scratch the code and scan it .......
Or do what I do. Scratch bard code and scan with phone app
On top of your MacBook?
That ruins to fun and mystery of scratching
Or, just scratch regularly. Sometimes it can void the ticket completely!
200.000$ if got -1
So you make an even bigger mess than scratching it...what a hack

I personally buy these tickets not only for the chance to win money, but also for the fun of scratching !
Go head and mess around and let that alcohol from that sanitizer eat through your $50k winning ticket. 😂😂😐
He took as much time rubbing it as it would for me to scratch it off with a coin😂
waste of hand sanitizer,
just use a quarter
Hello, I'm your First Thumbs up. I haven't seen the ticket machines before. 🤣😂🤣 Sharon in SC
Most uselsss hack ever!!!!
defeats the object of a scratch card
I need my Hand Sanitizer to many dirty people out in the world. Plus I would be double wasting $
Look what it did go that paper. And you want to put that on your skin everyday?
Bro next time get triple 7 like those are OP
There’s a reason they’re called scratch cards.
Penny scratch cheaper 😂😂😂
Takes the thrill out of it. My buddy used to scratch only the barcode and scan and see if it won. Like wtffff😂
That could ruin the bar code. I would not do that.
Imagine if he won
Your hand is doing the same motion.
Only this time, instead of just using a penny...you now need sanitizer, a wipe, and have a mess to clean up.....
Now you got a mess and smell like vodka
Lol dumbro did it on his Apple....

Yw
Seriously ‼️
Scratching the ticket to reveal numbers and symbols is the fun 🤩
Or you can just scratch the bottom by the bar card and see if any numbers spelled out pop up
I’ve seen people who buy 20-30 of them and just scratch and scan the bar code like damn now that’s a gambling problem
Messy. For those of us who play to win, scratch one box and scan. Quickest way to learn whether you have won or not. The fun part is knowing you have won sooner than later.
Spend money on hand sanitizer and then spend money on a losing ticket. Sounds like a win win situation
Just gets some Lysol wipes
Don't do this!!! If the ticket gets ruined you have to wait a while to verify it. Plus this takes all the fun out of scratching!!!
It's even faster when you just scan the barcode.
Why Do You Need Hand Sanitizer For The Lottery Ticket Use A Coin
.......all that mess,.....for a losing ticket.
This hack is way more better, cuz when you scratch it sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
I'm not pouring chemicals all over my losing ticket. I like to keep my losing tickets in mint condition.

Ain’t no way you did that on your laptop
As a gas station clerk i am so tired of mfs bringing in soggy wet scratch offs
Oh my God that lottery ticket is so dirty😂
It's better if you scratch it instead of using that hand sanitizer that way, you actually work for the prize
I’m sure rubbing alcohol would work and it wouldn’t be damp after cuz rubbing alcohol drys super quick idk just a thought
That MacBook thoe
2 for 1 for the germ freak gamblers afraid of dirty coins with sanitizer in their pocket
Just scratch the barcode and scan it like I do.

Imagine he won 10k and he said “YEAH GO GAMBLE YOUR LIFE SAVINGS”
I Won A Million But I Had To Give It To My Mom & Dad Because They Deserve It And Will Always Love To See Them Happy
If I’m going to scratch, I’ll do it slowly to enjoy
Imagine winning millions but they can't process the ticket because the hand sanitizer caused a defect
Even tho I love scratching the barcode actually playin I'mma try this one day lol😂
Scratching the ticket is the best part😅
rip macbook
And that's why I don't drink alcohol.
I always want something on scratchers but I'm waiting for that big one!
Imagine he won the lottery doing this 😂
It makes me laugh when I see folks faces when they find out the barcode is all that matters. You won or lost as soon as you bought it.
A hack should make it easier
I don’t buy them unless my intuition tells me to. I was down to my last $20 at Kroger. I passed the machine and knew I was going to win. I got 1 ticket and won $500. That’s happened a few times. I don’t know how I know I just “know”.
It's hard to win when playing the lottery.

I like lottery tickets but it’s not as fun this way. I want to see the matching number but it be a surprise 🤷♂️ plus that’s messy as hell
Scratching is the fun part
Takes the fun out of it
Stay in school kids. You should already know this from basic science.
Its called a scratch off for a reason....thats part of the fun of getting one..
A quarter works just as easily and quickly but good for you
Why is it so unbelievable that hand sanitizer would rub the top layer away? Seems like that's exactly what would happen
Yeah when you're doing stuff like that you're addicted to it that would be absolutely no point in buying a lotto ticket if I'm going to scratch it like that
Actually you can google if there are still prizes and how much is paid out.
Spending more money on lottery by buying hand sanitizer 😅
I would have been worried the alcohol in it would have messed up the ink, and it would have been A winning ticket.🤔😳
You're going to waste precious hand sanitizer just to find out you lost and you're bad at gambling and other life decisions
I guess that’s one way to ruin the finish on the MacBook underneath.
We don’t have these lottery ticket machine in Canada
